Ask HN: How do I find first paying users for my app?
I started multiple side projects and kept on building but now I realize that there is an even bigger aspect to all this, you can build all you want but If you cant market or sell it then its all useless. I have joined multiple platforms and trying to understand how to get my word across people without straight up advertising or anything but still struggling. Should i just use paid ads or what. Any tips would be appreciated.

- Determine the type of person who's problem your project solves (the more specific the better)
- Find where that type of person spends time online or in person
- Get your project in front of them. Ads are good at this, but there are lots of ways and it's constantly changing
Most of online marketing is throwing things at the wall until something sticks

Definitely trying multiple platforms, but still finding it hard and overwhelming. Have to keep trying, thank you for your advice
Well why on earth didn't you provide a link to it?
I am not sure about HN rules as of yet so I didnt include the link.
Your title would be considered misleading if you linked directly to your app. A link in your text would be absolutely fine.
